The name of the event had nothing to do with the lack of Viper participants. Many of us simply find it to be an extraordinary showing of hubris.
It is however, a perfect illustration of your interests. It was never a NY/CT Viper event. We don't advertise our events on the Ferrari and Lambo websites. Rather than being impressed by your continual listing of exotic cars (that you were warned about), most Viper club members become DISinterested. The "charitable aspect" of the event is admirable, but it's clearly secondary to the show.
Hey, you did your thing Keith and you should be fine with it without casting ANY disparaging words towards the club. That's where I draw the line. Don't go there.
